the thing bout buying one already made, is they have to let the feds know who they sold it to, much cheaper to make your own, soldering is simple.

They sell those under the pretense it's going to be used to distill alcohol for fuel which you can get a permit for.

I did buy my clamps and gaskets from those guys and other odds and ends but not the still. you can buy a tower and clamp it to the keg.

Clawhammer leaves it up to you, they don't get involved other than a generic disclaimer:

https://www.clawhammersupply.com/pages/legal-stuff

According to federal rules, stills of any size are legal to own if not being used, nor intended to be used, to produce alcohol. In other words, if a still is only being used to distill, filter, or purify water or to make something like essential oils, and these actions do not involve the distillation of alcohol, a still of any size is legal to own.

Some of my friends have reflux column setups sorta like that.

I stay away from the product they end up with.

How do you clean out those stills? Just boil water in em and pour it out?

Cleaning a still is pretty easy—if you make your cuts properly you’ll have lots of high proof feints to sterilize.

STX, Does that condenser do a good job of knocking down the vapor?

yes they are water-cooled, the pump is in the ice chest and circulates cool water through it.

usually, double distill.

I love good shine.

the main thing is making your cuts, which takes a little practice. stuff we make will not give you a hangover, might still wake up with a buzz but you won't feel bad or have a headache.

That's true.

The reason commercial whisky gives you a hangover is they don't cut it as much so they get more volume and leave more impurity's in it and that's why you have a headache and feel like chit. Also, the reason the company men liked it, wouldn't wake up hungover.

Jukebox 'n' sawdust floor
Sumpin' like I ain't never seen
And I'm just going on fifteen
But with the help of my finaglin' uncle I get snuck in
For my first taste of sin
I said "Lemme have a big old sip"
Bllll-bbbb, I done a double back flip

I got into that shine you sent me a couple times.

Never hurt at all the next day.

I have been blind ever since though.

lmao.

Back around 89, I went to web county, Larado area with another buddy who was a flooring installer also, he was a chicken fighter as well. We had barely enough money to get there, he ended up winning sixty thousand dollars at that derby.

The best head fog comes from West “BY GOD” Virginia.



ETA: Love me some Char.
